this gentle hint to the United States for

Mr.. Clark had no appropriation to fur.
nish italian workmen with their favorite
vintage 1.-THE last words of Ethan Allen
in Italy" have not been complied with.
When the workman was chiseling the
name of Nathaniel Greene on the statue
of that great man he naturally spelt 1t
"Green." A vermonter went to Archi-
tect Clark and complained, telling him
that Greene spelt his name with an "e."
Mr. Clark sent for the workman and in
formed him that he would have to add
"e' to the name. The workman at first
refused to do it, saying that he knew how
to spell "Green" as we'll as anybody else
and remarked, "If green does not
spell green will eat my hat and the
statue too" Mr.. Clark finally convinced
him that there were two ways of spelling
Greene, and the man with much reluc-
tance added the "e."
The last statue added to this collection
is that of General Garfield. tits of course

was the subject of great deal of criti-

Some Enormous, Wealthy, and Long-Estab-
lished Workmen's Organizations.
BY order of the House of Commons
Messrs. Hansard have just printed an appen.
dix to the returns of the chief register of
friendly societies for the year ending Decem-
Der 81, 1885, giving a list of registered trades
unions in the United Kingdom, with the dates
of their establishment, and, in some cases,
particulars of their funds, incomes and men,
bership.
From this it appears that the Oldest of all
trade-unions in the kingdom is the Steam
Engine Makers Society, Manchester, which
was established on November g 1924, and has
Aow flO, ,435 accumulated funds, and men,
bership of 5,062 The union possessing the
largest fund of those which have sent in re-
turns Though it must be remembered that
several of the largest societies, such, for ex-
ample, as the Amalgamated Society of En-
tinances) is the Amalgamated Society of
Carpenters and Joiners, with headquarters
at Manchester. The funds of this organiza-
ton are stated at ESQ, 0,S51; annual income,
e63, 122, and membership, %, 781. 1t is, how
Society of Railway Servants of England, Ire
land, Scotland and Wales, whose head
quarters are in City road London. The funds
of this society are stated at ESQ, $780, with an
annual income of el4, 1875, and 9,054 mem
bers.
The largest annual income-e7o, 7os-is
claimed by the United Society of Boiler
makers and Iron Shipbuilders Of Newcastle
on-Tyne, with 27,695 members, and accr-
mulated funds amounting to R3s, ,317. The
Durham Miners Association appears to be,
so far as the returns show, numerically the
strongest union in the kingdom, having
5000 members with an income of 246, 1853,
and funds amounting to 235, ,993. Some of
the titles of these societies show the extern
sive ramifcations of ftrades-unionism. That
there is Warehousemen's Philanthropic
Society in Bradford should occasion no sur
prise but the same town boasts of Stuff
makers-up Provident Society, with consider
able funds, and an income of more than

Women, too, have learned the utility of

titles of the Westminster and Pimlico Branch
Of the London Tailoresses Trade union, and
the Rochdals Male and Female Card and
Blowing-room Operatives Associations . In
Sunderland there is q 6hipyard-helpers

other nations - the most awful ex-
amples Of the penalty Of sin. In these
places for three cents these Vutcasts can
keep warm and get shelter and whatever
alcohol there IL in glass of the DRAWINGS
of the beer kegs rolled out of the saloons
to be carted back to the breweries. Here
tho man who thinks he need not curb his
thirst for drink can see exactly where 1t
will lead him. Here tho young woman
who prefers the merry life of the streets
can see for herself the condition every
step and day of such life is drifting her.
The stale beer dive is the next to the last
resting g-place of wrecked humanity; the
last is either the river, the hospital or the
morgue.
Italians preside over these places, send.
ing out men by day to drain the kegs
along the streets and selling the DRAWINGS
by night. They are envied by their
neighbors because they make money SO
fast. The Italians who live overhead In
the upper stories are herded as have said

above It. just above the heads of the
occupants hang many ropes or cords
from which depend rags that have been
picked up, washed and are now drying.
The atmosphere can better be imagined
than described. The occupants are in the
room only at meal times and at night.
Then they are SO crowded that at other
times they flee to the street, which always
swarms with them as thickly as flies on a
sugar cask. But in these rooms, where
every operation of nature and of life is
performed and privacy is crowded out,
little children are getting their first views
of life and their training for manhood
and womanhood. 1t is with shame and
sorrow that leave you to reflect what
the consequences must be. The contin.
ued existence of "the Bend" is disgrace
to man and to the metropolis.

who has charge of the Statuary Hall as well
as the Capitol, decided to put the names of
the illustrious men done in marble on the
statue and the State donating them on
the pedestal After much consultation
he finally had "Pennsylvania" chiseled
on both Muhlenberg and Fulton. Moth
ing was said by New York to this, and so
the statue of Fulton is now labeled as a
citizen of Pennsylvania.
The largest statue in the hall is that
of Ethan Allen. 1t is q grand piece Of
wo rk and fitly represents the old warrior
of Vermont. The statue is colossal in size
and represents the old hero at the time
when In the name of "the Great Jehovah
and the Continental Congress" he de-
mands the surrender Of Fort Ticon-
deroga. This statue was made in Italy
and shipped over in an immense box
to this country. When the box was
opened and the wrappings taken from it

around the sword which Allen holds in
his hand . piece Of paper on which were

entrance is very fine statue of Robert
Fulton, also donated by Pennsylvania.
When statue is presented the State
generally selects some one to make the
presentation speech. All the two dozen
and odd statues now in the hall have
been presented to the government, except
those from Pennsylvania. A peculiar
story attaching to the neglect of Penn
sylvania in fulfilling what has been Gus
tomary in giving the statues is that, al
though it had selected an orator, and
intended to formally transfer the statues
at the beginning of the first session of
the Forty-ninth Congress, 1t never did,
because it was intimated to the committee
who had the presentation in charge that
their right to claim Robert Fulton as
citizen of Pennsylvania would be con-
tested. Undoubtedly Fulton was born in
Pennsylvania, but he lived most of his
life in New York, and there he made his

Miss Catherine Lorillard Wolfe Leaves an
Estate Worth $4,000 900.
Miss Catherine Lorillard Wolfe, who died
ecently in New York, in her sixty-first year,
vas the daughter of John Davis Wolfe, a
Itch hardware merchant. Her mother was
daughter of Peter Lorillard the elder. She
was probably the richest unmarried woman
in the United States, her father having died

charity. She was also great patroness of
art and literature, her residence being stocked
with works of famous painters, rare books
and costly bric-a-brac.
ble deeds was the building of the .Newsboys
Lodging-house, the Grace House, in the
rear of Grace Church, and the American
chapel at Rome which cost S25, 900. She
was also a member of the various charitable
societies connected with the Protestant Epis-
copal church. The Wolfe fund, for the sup
port of infirm clergymen, was established by
her. Her last donation was the purchase for
$50, 600 of q large house in Lafayette Place to
be used as residence by the Episcopal
bishops.

years in this countrys Yet we have them
numerously and frequently here in New
York where the thermometer often rests
at zero and coquets with the freezing
point for three or four months of the
year. Not long ago was in Mulberry
street waiting on the sidewalk for a
person who had left me for a few mo-
ments and became interested in as cute
and cunning a little baby as 1 ever set
eyes on-a round-faced, dimpled, big
eyed, wise little cherub of probably a
couple of months of age. The infant
was Italian, as the dress of the woman
who carried it betrayed.
She was short, dumpy, olive-skinned
girl with her waist almost under her
arm, a bandana handkerchief worn so
that its gay ends crossed over her bosom
and were tucked in her belt, while the
free end hung picturesquely on her back
between her shoulders. Her black hair
was smoothed plainly on her forehead,
but braided behind and pinned 80 that 1t
depended in two loops, crossed, behind
her head. Her skirt was perfectly plain
without any fullness in the back, but
seemed to stand out above her hips with
-rch Greer shape at the top that you
half-imagined there was a thick pad or
belt beneath it. describe this dress in

great loop of yellow gold hanging from
each of the woman's ears, q big snowy
gold brooch where the kerchief Is crossed
over her breast and q general air and
haze of dirt over her hands, face, clothes,
neck and whatever else may be visible.
1t was a pretty young woman that
handled the baby that caught my admir-
ing eye, and as she seemed pleased to
note my interest in the child spoke to
her.
"Little sister" asked, or brother ?"
She burst into merry peal of laughter
and when 1t ended looked at me and
laughed again. .,
ooh, no, SIR" she replied in her queer
dialect, me anna de granmoth of-a de

1t scarcely seemed possible, but N an
instant she added: "Seel Here is-a de
baby mother" meaning the baby 3 mother.
And in the girl that had run out of the
hallway l saw what never should have

such as you or !, reader, who have little
ones of our own, would wish to keep at
school, with no thought Of even boyish
beaux, for several years to come. The
grandmother had not appeared to me to
be any more than woman grown, and
indeed she told me she was only twenty
seven-the age, believe, at which our
young ladies begin to consider single
women old maids-until they reach that
age themselves, when they push the line
Q little further along the scale Of time.
The baby's mother was only thirteen, she
said, and added, "That is nothing-in

necessary for the reader to remember that

is 30 deplorable, 1t does not rpreesent the

nor should 1t be forgotten that we have

live amid them, keeping house under the
dumps with the wharf for their floor, and
the river for their back yard. The con-
tractor allows family Of his workmen
to live on each wharf and the city doesn't
interfere. The clerk in the Office at the
end Of one Of those wharves told me that
no millionaire was 30 advantageously
housed, with the pure air of the river to
breathe all the time. As the river lust at
that point was black and foul with the

perhaps for the first time In my life) that
said nothing. In such places these Ital-

with table ware gotten in the same way,

any further. Here you see the women
cooking and washing, the children play

riyer ready to swallow them If misstep
Is made, and the men at work, burrowing
like rodents nearby on the scows. 1t
must be confessed that all looked very
